P90X Review - A P90X Workout Is Much More Than Just A Home Workout
Order Your P90X Tony Horton Extreme Home Fitness System Today!
I have to admit, when I purchased the P90X DVD's I was just expecting to get a challenging workout series. I did a little research and was convinced that the concept of "muscle confusion" (more about that later) would make this workout series different and more effective that other programs.
Turns out that P90X, or Power 90X, was very different from any workout that I had been through. It was a complete and comprehensive fitness system that also included a nutrition plan, a support community, as well as a state of the art home workout plan.
And with Tony Horton leading the workouts, it was like having a personal trainer/motivator.
I've been through Power 90X. Here is my P90X review.
So...What All Do You Get In The P90X Package?
Included in my P90X package were 13 DVD's, a nutrition plan, and a fitness guide.

The nutrition guide and fitness plan manuals give you your first clue that this is not just going to be some more workout tapes. Each guide is 100 pages + filled with useful information.
The 13 DVD's include an introductory video as well as twelve different workouts that you will use during the program. They consist of the following DVD's:
1. Chest & Back
2. Plyometrics
3. Shoulders & Arms
4. Yoga X
5. Legs & Back
6. Kenpo X
7. X Stretch
8. Core Synergistics
9. Chest, Shoulders, & Triceps
10. Back & Biceps
11. Cardio X
12. Ab Ripper X

My Experience. My P90X Review
Fortunately, when I first got the P90X package I did take the time to go through the Fitness Guide and Nutrition Plan.In the Fitness Guide there is a "Fit Test" on pages 20 to 26. Because this program is an advanced program you'll need to be able to start at an adequate level of fitness. In fact, they recommend that you complete Power 90
Well, I was able to pass the Fit Test and start the workouts. There are three variations of the P90X workout that you can follow. There is the Classic version, the Doubles version 9 where you add a second workout in the latter weeks), and the Lean version (more cardio and less muscle building).
Why Is A Tony Horton Workout So Different?
Get to know your new personal trainer.
Tony Horton is the trainer that will guide you during you workouts. Believe me, Tony will keep you going. I know it's almost a cliche to say that someone makes working out fun, but Tony does make it fun.I know there have been workouts where I was dragging and just barely able to drag myself down to the den for a workout but soon got into it and had a really productive session.
That's Tony. He's got a lot of enthusiasm and a quirky sense of humor. After you go through this workout series you'll feel like you actually know Tony. And you'll fully know why a Tony Horton workout is so different than all those other exercise sessions.
Tony Horton Talks About P90X
He briefly goes into Kenpo karate and yoga. This video gives you a little insight into Tony's personality and how he makes these workouts so much fun. Yeah, there tough but they can make such a difference in your lifestyle.

Going Through The P90X Workout - Day By Day
I chose the Power 90X Lean Workouts. While this variation emphasizes cardiovascular and aerobic training, there is still a lot of muscle building in the plan.The program consist of 13 weeks of workouts. You workout 6 days a week and can rest or stretch on the remaining day. Most workout last for about an hour. Some a bit more. Some a few minutes less.
For me, the Yoga X workout was the toughest. It lasts for a little over 90 minutes and was really a challenge for me...every time! I loved the Kempo and Plyometric workouts. Seemed like those flew by!
Now, A Bit About "Muscle Confusion"
This changing of exercises "confuses" you muscles, so to speak. Because your muscles never become accustomed to the program and never become efficient, they have to work harder and can't plateau.
So you keep getting stronger. At least that's my layman's understanding of it. It's explained fully starting on page 4 of the Fitness Guide. In fact, you could even ask the developers of P90x about it on the Power 90X Message Boards

Ron , I think you can substitute resistance band exercises for pullups. I use a 2 by 4 nailed up in the garage ( not the safest option!) -Chip

Ron says:
Phenomenal workout. The second week just started and I feel amazing. I have seen differences in my body, but more importantly I feel the difference during the workout. Things that I could not do the during the first week have become attainable. I'm not on the nutrition plan, I love food too much, but the workout itself is amazing. The only issue I have is not having a pull up bar, or having a sturdy enough place to install one. Any suggestions to remedy this? Do they have pullup bars with water or sandbag bases?

I'm a personal trainer, and find most fitness products sold on tv to be total garbage. Tony Horton earned my respect. P90X is the only fitness product sold on tv that is a true comprehensive and balanced strength and conditioning program. No fads, no gimmicks, no BS. Nothing but sound workout programming and intelligent periodization. If you add your hard work and consistency to it, you will see results.

I am on day 4 of my p90x workout experience. Sore does not begin to describe how I feel, but it is a good sore. I am loving this workout and Tony does an excellent job of motivating and making this fun.
